a cat cannot be a dog.
nor vice
versa.
the bird is just that a bird.
wings
and feathers.
that sort of thing.
never once, confused
with a frog.
and me and you.
we can't be one, we're always
different.
until the end
of time, we are who we
are,
not better, not worse, just
the way we were baked,
and came out of the cookie
jar.
